Carice Anderson is the Global Head of People Manager Strategy at BlackRock. She is also an executive coach and author of “Intelligence Isn't Enough: A Black Professional’s Guide to Thriving in the Workplace”. As people of colour, so many of us spend the early part of our careers spinning our wheels because we believe that if we put our heads down, work hard, stay humble and build the right technical skills, we will succeed. But it’s never that simple.
Carice joins us to discuss how important it is for us to know ourselves, and be deliberate about communicating and leveraging our strengths, while being deliberate about putting ourselves in the right environments that will support our competitive advantage to shine out.
Topics discussed:
· Playing an active role in managing your career – at every stage of your leadership path
· Differentiating yourself despite prevailing stereotypes about black people in the workplace
· Making difficult trade-offs in your career – especially between your personal goals and professional ambitions
· Empowering yourself to change as you mature in your career and start wanting different things
